In accordance to the latest developments in the pre-university level the English Language is foreseen to start from the first grade. So far, the English language has been taught from the 3rd grade. Therefore, there will be a need for at least 150 teachers. Beside, this number of qualified teachers to be employed, there are a lot of unqualified teachers at the primary, secondary and high levels of education that do not have a proper qualification on the English language.

3.3.1 The aim of the Programme
“Europe’s unification will not be complete until the Balkan countries are members of the Union”. This statement by former President of the European Commission Romano Prodi at the Thessaloniki summit in 2003 still holds true today: The advancing European integration has made South Eastern Europe the Centre of the European Union’s enlargement and integration efforts. The LL.M.Eur. Programme focuses on the special situation of Kosovo and its approximation to the European Union, studying its legal past, present and future.
Council of the European Union Conference of Santa Maria da Feira in June 2000, beside this it was decided that Kosovo’s the status of potential candidate for EU integration will be recognized. Also the Government of Kosovo has already defined EI as one of the most strategic national objectives to achieve planned in the medium term. In the empirical relationship with the national strategic goal regarding European integration is to be noted that in the coming years Kosovo institutions will be preoccupied with completing and implementing the Copenhagen criteria which will carry the main burden in the unification and harmonization lawyers ("acquis communautaire ") of national legislation with the EU. This program scientific Master was developed also considering the fact that over 90% of Kosovo labour market for lawyers represents jobs in public administration. In this empirical relationship should be noted that the annual progress reports on Kosovo European Commission qualitative deficiency consistently criticizes Kosovo's administrative capacity to implement reform policies arising from Kosovo journey towards European integration. This is the general issue of the fact that lawyers in Kosovo have little or no practical skills acquired during their studies and for this reason have difficulty with employment. The purpose of this program is to give students practical knowledge related to the implementation of integration policies by institutions. This valuable skill gives students an advantage in the market, because when they graduate will gain real-world experience.
It should also be noted that such a kind of program Master (LL.M.Eur.) no institution of higher education in Kosovo is offering such programme. This fact will certainly be an advantage in the job market for graduate students in the Master Program: “European Integration and Public Administration” (LL.M.Eur.) of the University of Prizren.

3.3.2 Aim of learning
In their study courses students must acquire in-depth knowledge in the field of justice. They will become a specialist in the field of justice will be able to understand the broader context of law, with all its functions. Teaching which is based on research that should enable students to develop critical way of thinking and be able to discuss various legal issues in a meaningful way. Graduates will have the academic skills adaptable to the needs of the market and will be able to develop strong communication skills, oral and written, which are necessary for efficient spreading and clear analysis of the law, in the native language and in English. These skills are also intended to show success in career (mainly public sector) that logically follows degree offered by this program. So in general after graduation of the student, general goals of learning for level Master “European Integration and Public Administration” (LL.M.Eur.) are multiplied: Legal analysis: Students should analyze more deeply the EU Legal System and Kosovo as well as develop critical skills of reading and understanding the legal authorities and the legal recognition of European and international issues through case being able to make comparisons with national law, to interpret it and make decisions. They should be able to use specific methodologies that will allow them to review the legal cases and make decisions. Legal Writing: Students should have the ability to draft legal documents as an annex to common constitutional amendments, administrative instructions, complaints, legal requirements; they should be able to organize legal analysis and argument, to use the legal authorities in written documents and the practice of persuasive writing. Legal Researches: Students must learn to articulate effective research questions, understand the importance of using primary authorities such as court cases (particularly constitutional cases in court) Other skills: Students have to learn after graduation the skills of the interviewing and counselling or negotiation. Having into consideration that the English Language is the labour language of the EU institutions and its knowledge is essential for the career of the graduated in this Master programme “Introduction to EU Legal English” will be a compulsory course in the first semester. Also some lectures can be taught in English by the guest professors if could happen a real international for this Master programme.
3.3.3 International Cooperation
Law Faculty of UPZ in the development agenda itself has one of the priorities of international cooperation. In this context models used for the development of this program have been Master Syllabi: “South-East European Law and European Integration” of the University of Graz-it, “Europäische Integration” of the University of Saarbrücken as well as the “Europäisches Recht” of the University of Bremen.
The real possibility of implementation of an international cooperation in the framework of Master programme “European Integration and Public Administration” (LL.M.Eur.) of UPZ, i.e. through exchange of guest professors in the framework of TEMPUS, will be elaborated in later stages.

To use this information to potential its full course will develop your understanding and use of more general theoretical explanations in political science and law. Among others, these theories help us to explain: Why the Commission and the Court Parliament has gained new powers; Why informal political networks are as important as those who do regulation decisions? Although market integration and regulation procedure is faster than social and environmental protection? Why elections in Europe are having breakthroughs? And Why the EU is more legal process governing then other many systems? Competences: Course Aims Also develop a critical-analytical approach to many questions facing Europe's citizens and political The leader in the next decade. For example. How can the EU be more accountable? Should the EU institutions be designed? Is The EU Law delegitimize or legitimizing the Union? Is the EU creating the structure of nation states and national governments or the European level is creating a kind new of political and legal advantage? Literature: Bashkim I.

Market Research Actually there is no significant market research regarding the labor market relevance of this study program. However, there is an assessment of the information and communications technologies (ICT) sector in Kosovo conducted at the request of USAID/Kosovo. The purpose of this activity was to assess opportunities for USAID to support Kosovo’s ICT sector. This sector encompasses several areas of business including telecommunications, a variety of services related to the development, customization and use of software and hardware and services and products that are delivered via telecommunications (both voice and data) networks. The objectives of the assessment were to answer two questions: Are there parts of the ICT sector in Kosovo that have significant potential for growth in revenues and employees which could be increased if key constraints were addressed? How might USAID efforts to support the ICT sector benefit overall economic growth in Kosovo?
The team used general factors typically used to identify target business sectors for economic growth assistance. These factors were then tailored to the ICT sector based on the experience of other economic growth projects and the characteristics of the sector. The team also used a SWOT approach throughout the information gathering and analysis, i.e., identifying strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to the sector. Although it is difficult to separate the ICT sector cleanly into independent sub-sectors, the team generally analyzed the IT (information technology – meaning work related computer software applications and hardware) from telecommunications (meaning the provision of voice, data and video services via telecommunications networks, either Internet (IP) or mobile phone networks).
- 172 -
In Kosovo there are 3 major Internet service providers (ISP) : IPKO, Kujtesa and PTK. They also come to conclusion that IT combined with the telecommunications sector appears much stronger than the IT sector alone. They are more optimistic about the potential for this sector to be competitive, especially when combined with an effort to strengthen the development of value added services to take advantage of the quickly expanding mobile phone service networks. There are also 11 main ICT companies operating in Kosovo (Comtrade, Komtel, iSoft, Ipko, Rrota, Cactus, ProNet, Rrota, LogicPlus, Microsoft, Kujtesa, Ati-Kos). It appears that the key constraints for this sector are education and training; improvements to the telecommunications regulatory capacity; stronger sector entrepreneurship and business skills. It is well-known that these companies have many gaps mainly with respect to professional staff. One of the reasons may be found in poor engineering programs offering from universities currently in Kosovo. In Kosovo there are some Universities (public and private) which offer the different programs in Computer Science and Technology. University of Prishtina (Mathematic Faculty and Technical Faculty) provides two programs mainly software oriented. Technical Faculty provides also a new program in Mechatronic, but all these programs are only partly similar to our proposed program. The main private Universities that provide programs in Computer Science and Technology are UBT (University for Business and Technology), AAB-Riinvest as well as Iliria. Although the programs of these Universities are in some relationships with some Universities from abroad (case UBT), there is no indication of any big achievement regarding the labor market and society needs. This first of all because the programs do not meet the requirements of labor market. According to USAID, Engineering schools in Kosovo may have basics, but far behind providing tech-skills for work. Based on their analysis the IT Sector alone currently provides only little potential economic impact but ICT is a promising sector with a great impact on the future economic development of Kosova. Therefore, this study program aims to provide these companies and society in general, professional staff in order to make them competitive with similar European companies and worldwide.

3. Organization, management and planning
The statute of the University of Prizren regulates the basis of organization and operation, procedures, academic affairs and progress of all processes within the campus of the University of Prizren.
The presented Organizational Chart presents the way of functioning of the University of Prizren. The board of guvernors (consited from nine members, three of them international) is the highest decisiontaking body, which besides other proposes the candidate for rector to the minister, and the minister apoints the rector.
Academic affairs, academic policies, implementation and control of performance and student academic affairs, promotion of academic staff are issues that are highlighted in modeling management. Other secondary authorities of the University are divided into faculties or departments and programs. These departments, in cooperation with the Rector, will be responsible for organizing the educational process within the field of study, will organize the assessment process, administer the curriculum, will develop plans for joint research, etc. Most of the other official divisions are established and charged with specific processes that assist in the daily operation of the university. It is important to note the establishment of the Office for International Relations and Quality Assurance.
The management of modern higher education needs bboth, a strong leadership at senior level and a high level of participation in decentralized units at the same time. The former is needed to follow the dynamics of higher education and the rapid change in higher education environment, while the latter is needed to extract the expertise held by the Researchers. Dealing with that challenge departments of University that combines the power to inclusive policy-making very formal, but more informal groups ("meetings with the Deans") who have the right decision declaring the procedures (advisory) but have no authority to slow the decisions. This kind of balance is also needed in all levels of management of the institution.

6. Quality Assurance
University of Prizren founded the Quality Assurance Office (QAO) and appointed the QAO Officer. This has been done in cooperation withithin TEMPUS Project. QAO will operate on a regular academic level within university. This fact makes this office a wide and independent promoter of the objective information.
The Quality Unit covers all aspects of quality in the institution including not only teaching and learning, but also research, community outreach and administration. Mostly, the QAO will be engaged in the conception as well as the execution of instruments for quality assurance.
The QAO closely cooperates with the university management, with the Commission for Quality Assurance, the administrative and academic units, students and external stakeholders, particularly with staff or units assigned for personnel development and strategic monitoring / reporting. Leading Principles in Quality Assurance Quality assurance at the University of Prizren is in full accordance with the respective European developments (Bologna process, “European Standards and Guidelines”) and the University strategy. As suggested by the European University Association, the main goal is the promotion of a quality culture within the University of Prizren, particularly among its staff. The Unit supports the University to be a learning institution dedicated to the paradigm of continuous enhancement. Therefore, the Unit has to fulfil two functions:
Monitoring: collection of data, regular comparison of key indicators, etc.
Development: enhance motivation, provide assistance, etc.
Collecting, processing and providing data, the Quality Unit applies scientific principles. As a support unit within the University, it is meant to be at the service of academic and administrative units as well as the university management.
One of the basic responsibilities of the quality assurance unit is evaluation of the study programs, courses and teachers. Main instrument in the evaluation is queswtionaire which we regurarly updated. At the moment we are working on digitaluising the evaluation based on the best pratctise of some european universities. The data of the evaluation is delivered to the management and is only for internal use. Steps undertaken based on the results are transparent.
7. Facilities and equipment
Inside the Campus of the University there are three buildings with a unique architecture built in 1970s. In 2009 Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MEST) made a projects for reconstruction of these buildings. Most of the projects have been finished.
After the reconstruction of the second building, the space has been dabbled for the study process. At the moment we have two buildings in use, with a total space of 8500m, used from about 4800 students (including students from the Faculty of education).
During the period of time 2011/2012 many projects have been done which have had a direct impact on study process. Some of the projects are: reconstructing of the second building, yard, parks around the campus, etc.
Library and IT
The library has been reconstructed and supplied with around 1000 new texts for students, from all necessary fields. The books were ordered consulting with the programme directors and the professor s. The UPZ library is now a member of Assotiation of electronic Libraries in Kosovo and with that a member of EIFEL (Electronic Information for Libraries) which is done in cooperation with Higher-KOS.
In the first building there are three IT labs, reconstructed and supplied with the necessary IT technology for a normal study process.
Both of the buildings have been supplied with necessary office supply. There are also two monitors installed in the halls for a higher quality of informing the students. Inside and outside the buildings there are security cameras installed for a secure environment during the study process. All of the classrooms are supplied with projectors, speakers, microphones and other necessary equipment needed for a higher quality of teaching.
Future plans
In order to fulfill our needs, Infrastructure projects are going to continue in coming. The third building inside the campus is almost finished with the reconstruction. We plan to locate there the amphitheatre and other offices for the deans needs. An annex is also under construction with approximately 2000m2 inside the university campus, which will fulfill our needs in three coming years.
8. International Relationship and Research
International relationships for The UPZ are priority. We know the fact that our university can profit a lot from the developed universities and universities with tradition. Establishment of the Office and appointment of the coordinator for International Affairs is just one step of the internationalization of our university. The establishment of the office has been done in partnership with the TEMPUS project. In coming months UPZ will work on drafting the strategic plan for internationalization. It is our aim that during the period of time 2012-2015 to sign a contract of cooperation with tens of universities in different fields, like: exchange of students, research, workshops, organization of seminars and many more.
We established partnership with the following universities when this document was signed. The contracts of cooperation can be found attached in annex.
University of Bremen - Germany University of Cologne - Germany University of Hamm-Lippstadt - Germany University of Sakaraja - Turkey Universitety of Prishtina University of Balikesir – Turkey Univgersity of Nigde - Turkey University of Bharath – India University of Kacaeli – Turkey University of Sarajevo – Bosnia and Herzegovina University of Tirana - Albania
We are in procedure of creating cooperation with the following universities:
University of Mostar - Bosnia and Herzegovina University of Shkodra – Albaniai University of Gjirokastra – Albania Universiteti of Korça – Albania State University of Tetova - Macedonia
Research
Only two and a half years have passed since the establishment of the UPZ. During this period of time, as mentioned before, The UPZ was facing problems of the basic functioning nature. This the reason that the sector of research hasn’t make progress. However the UPZ during March established the commission for research. The priority of this commission during the first months after establishment is creating the strategic plan in order to start researching in different fields. Without doubt this process will have a full support from other mechanisms within university.
TEMPUS
University of Prizren is benefiter of the TEMPUS project, which includes assistance and development of the UPZ in several fields. As the result there are three offices established, Office for the international relationships, Office for Quality Assurance and Student Support Service. They will also finance the master program in Cultural heritage and Tourism Management. We will follow the agenda offered from TEMPUS. Agenda includes seminars and workshops which are going to take place inside and inn many EU countries.
